Good afternoon Corbin,
The current National Oncology/Infusion Competency version 2 specifies the following:
(a) Inital evaluation requires a total of two PATT-2 media fill challenge with needles and one modified PhaSeal PATT
(b) Ongoing requires one PATT-2 challenge and one modified PhaSeal
Following the last OSC meeting, there were some confusions amongst the SCAL Oncology Supervisors with regards to PATT-2 testing for new hires and existing staff. Can you please provide clarification on the following?
I. PATT-2 Testing for sites with only BSC and sites with both BSC and LFWB
1. Sites with both BSC and LFWB
Annual validation: THREE PATT-2 tests: one needles + one Phaseal in the BSC and one needles in the LFWB
New hires: Same as above PLUS one additional patt-2 test with needles (40 manipulations)
2. …show more content…
Sites with only BSC:
Annual validation: TWO Patt-2 tests: one with needles and one with Phaseal
New hires: THREE PATT-2 tests: two with needles (40 manipulations) and one with Phaseal
II. The put together the following table to help guide the Oncology Supervisors. Can you please review and advise if the contents are accurate for distribution?
Post Garbing Fingertip Test Post PATT-2 Fingertip Test PATT-2 Test (Needles) PATT-2 Test (Phaseal) Total # of PATT-2 Test
New Hire (facilities with BSC) 3 sets 1 set 2 tests (40 manipulations) 1 test (10 manipulations using Phaseal) in BSC 3
New Hire (facilities with BSC and LFWB) 3 sets 1 set 2 tests (40 manipulations) in LFWB PLUS
1 test (20 manipulations) in BSC 1 test (10 manipulations using Phaseal) in BSC 4
Annual (facilities with BSC) 1 set 1 set 1 test (20 manipulations) in LFWB 1 test (10 manipulations using Phaseal) in BSC 2
